You will misremember the important ones
The gigs that changed your taste rarely feel historic in the moment. They feel like a cheap Tuesday. Two years later you cannot name the support act.
A diary is not nostalgia cosplay. It is a timestamp: you were there, this was the room, this is who you went with.
Photos are not a history
Camera rolls get wiped, iCloud fills up, and Instagram hides posts. A gig record in Radar syncs with your account — artist, venue, date, setlist — even if the photos go.
Friends move cities. Tagging them on the gig is how you still have a shared list when the WhatsApp group dies.
Stats are a side effect, not the point
Wrapped slides are fun in December. The reason to log in March is so December is true. Fake totals from guessing help nobody.
Start with the last gig you went to. Then backfill one artist. The habit sticks when logging takes under a minute.
